The other armor-piercing round was aimed at Gao Feng, the captain of Fire Hammer Squad!

Fortunately, Jiang Li had just warned them. The moment he heard the gunshot, Gao Feng instinctively raised his hammer to shield his head.

Bang!

The armor-piercing round struck the face of his hammer. The tremendous impact sent the hammer crashing toward his head, leaving him instantly dazed and bleeding profusely!

"Enemy attack!"

Zhang Ke was shocked and shouted a warning.

"Damn it, which bastard was that?!"

Wei Tie and Wei Qing roared in anger. The others quickly closed ranks around Gao Feng, covering his retreat to the bend in the alley, where he could take cover.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Their first shot had failed, and gunfire immediately erupted from all sides.

"Captain, Captain! Are you all right?"

Blood still streamed from Gao Feng's head. He shook it, trying to clear his mind, then said, "I'm fine. Good thing Jiang Li warned me!"

"Everyone, be careful. Get Chen Gu into cover first. They clearly have at least two snipers!"

"There are six of them in total, and one is Zhang Zehu!"

Jiang Li's eyes flickered. The images in the area covered by his mental power were clear as day.

"Zhang Zehu!!!"

At the name, anger surged through Luo Feng. He glanced at Gao Feng, guilt written all over his face.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness Brother Jiang had warned them. Otherwise, that shot could have taken Gao Feng's life.

"Luo Feng, this isn't your fault!"

Seeing Luo Feng's bloodshot eyes and the way he seemed ready to charge out and fight to the death, Gao Feng hurriedly said, "They must have followed the Silver Moon Dire Wolf here!"

"Then this is my problem."

Jiang Li's expression turned cold, killing intent rising in his eyes. Just then, Chen Gu's urgent voice came through the communicator: "Captain, this is bad! The nearby monster hordes are rushing toward you..."

"Damn it!"

"How sinister! They actually drove the monster hordes this way!"

"They're trying to kill every one of us!"

Gao Feng's expression changed again. "Forget the Silver Moon Dire Wolf. We need to get out of here! Jiang Li, what are you doing?"

"Killing them!"

As Fire Hammer Squad prepared to retreat, Jiang Li uttered two words.

Clang!

In the space of a breath, a sword rang out.

Then a long, blood-red streak shot through the air from behind him, piercing straight through a dilapidated residential building. It sliced through as easily as a knife through butter.

This time, Jiang Li had no intention of hiding his abilities.

The Flying Sword shot away at tremendous speed.

"What is that?"

One of the snipers from Fang Squad stared in shock and cried out, "A Psychic!"

The next instant!

The Blood Shadow War Sword swept past. A Dong and A Xiao's heads flew almost simultaneously, and blood gushed from their necks.

At the same time, the faces of everyone else in Fang Squad changed dramatically!

"Run!"

Pan Ya acted decisively. Against a Psychic of the same level, they had almost no chance of survival!

"They're fast!"

The Blood Shadow War Sword had returned within the span of a breath. Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, and the Wei Brothers had been about to retreat, but when they saw the blood still dripping from Jiang Li's blade, they all froze.

"Brother Jiang, you really are a Psychic..."

Luo Feng's pupils narrowed. Understanding dawned on his face.

"My God, he really is a Psychic!"

"So that really is a Flying Sword?"

"Jiang Li, you killed them?"

A thought flashed through Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, and the others' minds. A trace of shock flickered in their eyes.

Rumble!

The monster horde surged toward them like a landslide. The ground, poured in concrete, shook and cracked beneath their feet, while dust fell from the dilapidated buildings nearby.

"Luo Feng, do you know how to butcher a Silver Moon Dire Wolf?"

As he watched the horde charge toward them like ten thousand galloping horses, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.

"I know a little," Luo Feng replied with a nod.

"Jiang Li, you're thinking of..."

Gao Feng's eyes widened. "Once the horde surrounds us... Wait, you're both Psychics!"

"But..."

One of the abilities that made Psychics most enviable was their ability to fly by riding objects. Ordinary martial artists—even ordinary War Gods—needed auxiliary tools like Flowing Light just to manage a flight through the air.

That was one of the main reasons Psychics were coveted by forces everywhere.

They were practically sword-flying cultivators!

"Don't worry, Captain. I killed both snipers from Fang Squad!"

Jiang Li could tell what Gao Feng was worried about, so he answered plainly. "The others ran."

Phew!

Though they had all guessed that the Blood Shadow War Sword had killed someone—the blood still dripping from it when it returned made that clear—hearing Jiang Li say he had killed two Warrior General Level fighters with a single sword still sent a chill through them.

"All right, Jiang Li, Luo Feng, be careful. Take the wolf if you can, but don't push yourselves if you can't!"

Gao Feng cautioned them, "Safety comes first!"

"You all be careful!"

Zhang Ke and the Wei Brothers understood that they would only get in the way if they stayed. The three quickly withdrew along a nearby path.

Chapter 26: Jiang Li, War God?

"Ha! Ha!"

The foul stench of monsters filled the air. The Silver Moon Dire Wolf's corpse lay in the middle of the alley, and monsters were charging in from all four directions.

At that moment, Luo Feng's gaze was resolute as he controlled six flying knives to butcher the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's corpse.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Gu had taken up a high position and began laying down suppressive fire on the monsters in one of the alleys. Bullets poured out as though they cost nothing.

"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, the alley's narrow, so the monsters can't pour in all at once. I'll hold them back in one alley for now!"

Chen Gu's voice came through the communicator.

"Aw! Aw!"

Before Jiang Li could answer, a dozen Unicorn Wolves charged fiercely from the other side. Jiang Li's gaze turned cold. The Bloodshadow Warblade in his hand shimmered with a rainbow of light, and he shot forward like a white bolt of lightning to meet them.

"Magnetic Storm Light Blade!"

Jiang Li swung the crimson blade in his hand, forming a streak of red light that swept across the pack.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

The dozen Unicorn Wolves could only cry out as they were cut down. Jiang Li sliced their bodies in half in midair.

At the same time,

Buzz!

The Blood Shadow War Sword on Jiang Li's back let out a low hum, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, passed over Luo Feng's head, and shot toward the alley on the left.

A Flying Sword!

In the blink of an eye, it pierced the heads of the six Tiger Mastiff Dogs attacking Luo Feng!

Blood and brains splattered everywhere.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The monsters behind them grew even more frenzied at the sound of the beasts' piercing howls, surging forward in an endless stream.
